How do I Point to a Users directory with Windows 7

[JTShaw]

Hello,

I am trying to have the program point to the Users directory with Windows 7 operating system. I need it to read a Data.txt file in their User folder. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I tried this with no luck.

Thanks,

John

Try %UserProfile%

I don't think you need the C:\

for example:

%UserProfile%\APSST 2012\SMR Data.txt

You can't use %something%. %something% is a shell variable, not a substitution macro that can be used for file I/O functions. You have to pass in an absolute path to the File I/O functions. You can use the Get System Directory function to return the path for a specific directory, such as the user's home directory.
